430) dated 16th November, 2017. Further, Notification No. 1-11(91)-TAX/GST/2017(Part)
(Tripura Gazette No. 7) dated 5th January, 2018 (superseding Notification No. No. 1-11(91)-

No. 72/2017 – Central Tax dated 29th December 2017 (superseding Notification No. 58/2017-

outward supply statement in FORM GSTR-1 for various months / quarters (as depicted in
the calendar above) by registered persons having aggregate turnover in the previous financial

1.5 It is also clarified that the registered person will self-assess his aggregate turnover in
terms of Section 2(6) of the CGST Act, 2017 for the previous financial year or the current
financial year (in case of new registrants). Based on this self-assessed turnover, the registered
person with turnover up to Rs. 1.5 Crore will be required to file FORM GSTR-1 on quarterly
basis instead of on monthly basis. It is also clarified that the registered person may opt to file
FORM GSTR-1 on monthly basis if he so wishes even though his aggregate turnover is up
to Rs. 1.5 Crore. Once he falls in this bracket or if he chooses to file return on monthly basis,
the registered person will not have the option to change the return filing periodicity for the
entire financial year. In cases, where the registered person wrongly reports his aggregate
turnover and opts to file FORM GSTR-1 on quarterly basis, he

Amendment / corrections / rectification of errors:
Various representations have been received wherein registered persons have requested
for clarification on the procedure for rectification of errors made while filing their FORM

which clarified that errors committed while filing FORM GSTR – 3B may be rectified while

filing FORM GSTR-1 and FORM GSTR-2 of the same month. Further, in the said circular,
it was clarified that the system will automatically reconcile the data submitted in FORM

be offset against output tax liability or added to the output tax liability of the subsequent
months of the registered person.

is alongwith the values for current month itself in appropriate tables i.e. Table No. 3.1,
3.2, 4 and 5, as the case may be. It may be noted that while making adjustment in the output
tax liability or input tax credit, there can be no negative entries in the FORM GSTR-3B. The
amount remaining for adjustment, if any, may be adjusted in the return(s) in FORM GSTR-
3B of subsequent month(s) and, in cases where such adjustment is not feasible, refund may
be claimed. Where adjustments have been made in FORM GSTR-3B of multiple months,
corresponding adjustments in FORM GSTR-1 should also preferably be made in the
corresponding months.
5. Where the taxpayer has committed an error in submitting (before offsetting and filing)
the information in FORM GSTR-3B, a provision for editing the same has been provided.
The facility to edit the information can be used only before offsetting the liability and editing
will not be permitted after offsetting the liability. Hence, every care should
